Lagatha's Curse - by Rachel Anderson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Summer is ending, and winter will rule the land.

In Lagatha's Curse, an ancient tree, Shashra, separates two cursed tribes by summer and winter. When seventeen-year-old Dantel, of the summer Lagaths, crosses the river to explore the forbidden mountain, he finds a red stone on a woven cord. The stone burns him, which ignites a passion to find out what it is, and who it belongs to. He eventually comes face-to-face with a girl from the winter Lagaths. She comes for the stone, for it is her life force.

Dantel is compelled to save her life. Together, they uncover answers about their two tribes and the curse that binds them all. Determined to end the curse and bring their tribes together, the duo venture into the unknown, as they learn of a powerful enchanter who controls Shashra. To free their tribes, they must travel to Shashra and confront Rulyen, the evil enchanter holding the strings.

Their mission is difficult, and their options are few. Will they prevail, or will the evil Rulyen have the last word?

Lagatha's Curse is a fantastical adventure sure to please the teen reader!
